Shot / Shooting

To be conscious of hearing a shot in dreams or of shooting someone highlights the need for a targeted release of energy, perhaps to clear the air or to achieve a particular end result. Being shot in a dream suggests that we may need to be aware of someone else’s ill feeling towards us.

1. Shooting a person indicates deep hostility toward the person. 2. One is shooting for a particular goal in one’s life. 3. If the dreamer is being shot at, then he/she feels like a victim in waking life.

Shooting someone or being shot yourself is a fearful and violent dream experience. It may reflect aggression, powerlessness, release of strong and dangerous emotions, and/or symbolize a conclusive event in a particular situation or relationship. See also: Guns
